Majo Aguilar, rising star of regional Mexican music and member of the iconic Aguilar family, is at the center of controversy after reportedly leaving a scheduled event in Odessa, Texas to perform the Mexican National Anthem at the high-profile Canelo Álvarez vs. William Scull fight in Saudi Arabia
Fans and event organizers were left surprised when Aguilar, who was set to appear at “Viva la Fiesta,” canceled her appearance at the last minute. Critics online called the move unprofessional, arguing that ticket holders and fans deserved better notice
Despite the backlash, Aguilar delivered a powerful rendition of the Himno Nacional Mexicano live on international TV just minutes before the main event, earning praise for her vocal performance This isn’t the first time Aguilar has faced criticism for prioritizing high-profile opportunities; similar accusations surfaced earlier this year when she missed a show in Morelos to perform at Mexico City’s Auditorio Nacional
While some question her commitment to smaller venues, others see Aguilar’s choices as strategic career moves that cement her status as one of Mexico’s most promising young voices. The debate continues as Aguilar’s star rises-and her every move is watched by fans and critics alike.
